Chapter 96: Chapter 96 Polyvinyl Alcohol, Carbon Fiber Skeleton_1

Plop!

Ding Yue slipped out a drawing he had made, slapping it on the office desk.

"You three, come take a look."

Ding Yue signaled to Tong Yihang and his two companions.

The three immediately rose from the couch and walked over to the desk, looking at the blueprint Principal Ding had pulled out.

On the drawing was a small head, big belly, short legs, something of a relatively large size... a... robot?

Logically speaking.

Tong Yihang, Chen Jun, and Liu Tiefei were truly struggling to imagine that this was indeed a robot.

Shouldn’t a robot have a cool and sleek appearance with a metal skeletal frame?

If it weren’t for Principal Ding’s invitation to participate in the intelligent robot project, they would never have guessed that this schematic depicted a robotic exterior.

"Principal Ding, this is... good looking, actually." Tong Yihang said with a smile.

Tall, short-legged, and pot-bellied, it was indeed adorable.

"The intelligent robot project our university plans to develop is a robot capable of diagnosing and treating all aspects of human health, including mental health. Its design must be endearing. How does this one look to you guys?"

Ding Yue explained to the trio.

"It’s good, it’s good!" freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Yes, it looks really nice."

"It’s somewhat cute. If we make it, it should be even cuter."

Tong Yihang, Chen Jun, and Liu Tiefei nodded quickly.

The principal said it, so how could they disagree?

Seeing the design again after Principal Ding’s explanation, they had to admit that it was quite fitting.

"I call this robot Big White. The primary material isn’t complicated, we’ll use polyvinyl alcohol fiber for the exterior. What do you guys think?"

Ding Yue started discussing with Tong Yihang and the others.

"Polyvinyl alcohol fibers, Principal Ding, can give that soft and fluffy feel, right?"

Tong Yihang had a bit of knowledge about polyvinyl alcohol fibers.

"Exactly."

Ding Yue nodded, "That’s not the main point though. The skeleton is crucial, what material should we use for it?"

"Principal Ding, I think titanium alloy is quite suitable. All the properties of titanium alloy are excellent: high strength, corrosion-resistant, and heat-resistant."

In Liu Tiefei’s view, titanium alloy was the best choice for the robot’s skeletal frame.

"Titanium alloy is indeed good. But, taking Big White’s size into account along with the use of polyvinyl alcohol fibers, it should be inflatable, right?"

Tong Yihang analyzed thoughtfully.

"Exactly, Big White’s two main features are inflation and charging." Ding Yue responded.

"Charging, is it with a lithium battery?" Chen Jun asked curiously.

"For now, it can only be a lithium battery." Ding Yue shrugged.

Lithium battery technology is currently advanced and cost-efficient. Super capacitors allow for rapid and plentiful charging.

Using new energy batteries, such as fuel cells, would drastically increase costs, unless Mist City Arts and Science University can develop its own mature fuel cell technology.

"So, regarding the inflatable design, it’s mainly for convenience and portability, given what Principal Ding mentioned earlier about Big White being a health care robot. But using a titanium alloy for the skeletal frame isn’t quite suitable."

Tong Yihang countered Liu Tiefei’s idea of using titanium alloy for the skeletal frame.

"Yes, titanium alloy is too heavy."

Having realized this, Liu Tiefei agreed with Tong Yihang’s objection.

"What about a carbon fiber skeleton?" Ding Yue suggested with a smile.

"That sounds good." At these words, Tong Yihang immediately nodded.

"Next is the brake system. Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, do you feel confident about it?" Ding Yue turned to Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei.

The brake system is essential for Big White.

For Big White to move or perform actions, a brake system is necessary.

In the movie, Big White’s powerful brake system could lift up to a thousand pounds, over four hundred and fifty kilograms.

"Principal Ding, leave it to us!" What Tong Yihang excels in most when making robots is the brake system.

"I’ll set a standard for you guys, the brake system should allow Big White to easily pick up the weight of an adult man, okay?"

"Okay!"

The greater the challenge, the more meaningful the work. Both Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei agreed to strive towards achieving the brake system that Principal Ding expects.

"After you go back, please make a list of materials and equipment you need. After the lab is prepared and all the equipment and materials are bought, I’ll notify your department heads to officially start the project."

Seeing that Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei from the Mechanical Engineering Department were very confident, Ding Yue instructed them to make a list of required materials and equipment.

The school would purchase everything they needed.

This would rack up significant costs.

But such costs are inevitable. Any university invests a considerable amount in their laboratories, along with materials and equipment.

Both Qinghua and Yancheng University spend over 10 billion a year on research expenses!

If Mist City Arts and Science University wanted to become a leading university within the country, it had to invest even more in research than Qinghua and Yancheng.

However.

Qinghua and Yancheng University have national financial support, while Mist City Arts and Science University, as a private university, can only rely on Ding Yue’s Feiyue Group for funding.

"Okay, Principal Ding."

Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei both nodded.

And Chen Jun was just standing there, eagerly looking at Principal Ding.

"Chen Jun, go find Director Xu Bin, tell him I sent you and work on writing Big White’s software with him."

Ding Yue also arranged a task for Chen Jun, the outstanding student from the Computer Science Department.

"Okay, Principal Ding!"

"That’s all for now, you can go back."

"Goodbye, Principal Ding."

Tong Yihang, Liu Tiefei, and Chen Jun left the Principal’s office. Once in the corridor, they couldn’t help but cheer excitedly.

Now that the teams responsible for writing the software and creating Big White’s body have been arranged, spanning both Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering departments.

There is still one faculty that is crucial and must be included.

That would be the Medical School.

Although Mist City Arts and Science University doesn’t have many medical students, due to the BUFF effect applied by Ding Yue and the presence of teachers, it should be possible to generate a comprehensive medical scheme, right?

After all, this only involves theoretical medical knowledge, not practical knowledge or experience.

In order to write Big White’s healthcare assistant program, Xu Bin and Chen Jun would definitely need a complete medical scheme.

"Wen Ruohan."

"Yes, Principal Ding, I’m here."

"Alert Director Bai from the Medical School to come to my office. Also, the Big White project will require some advanced chips. Please contact Guoxing Technology in this regard."

"Okay!"
